Getting Active in the Bay of Plenty

Sport Bay of Plenty with the support of key stakeholders provide opportunities for Bay adults to get active and reap the benefits of having an active lifestyle.

We provide a number of Health and Lifestyle Activity programmes for individuals, families/whanau, and children. Our small team of staff are well qualified, motivated and keen to see more of the Bay getting involved in physical activity.

EARLY CHILDHOOD

Sport Bay of Plenty facilitates workshops designed to encourage fun, quality activity for the Under Fives. These workshops are aimed at supporting Educators, Parents and other Community Groups. The workshops are free, fun and interactive.

The Early Childhood Advisor works Bay of Plenty wide and offers a wide variety of workshops with topics ranging from the importance of crawling to ideas promoting the development of fundamental skills in preschoolers. 
 

HEALTH PROGRAMMES

Making a positive impact on the health and quality of life of those referred to one of our programmes, is the key objective of the Health Team. The 2007/08 NZ Health Survey illustrated that half of all adults in New Zealand are not being physically active on a regular basis. This can lead to health conditions such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes and risk of cardiovascular disease.

This demonstrates the importance of our programmes which offer a service to both adults and children to meet their individual needs and improve their health outcomes.  We focus on working with individuals and whanau to improve physical activity levels, and educate on healthy food choices.
